Arrrggghhh! I’ve been waiting for a chance to use some pirate-ease on this blog. Because I can’t wait until Talk Like a Pirate Day, which only comes around once a year, I figured I’d jump at the chance now. I know, I know … you’re still scratching your head. Wait for it.

Despite our farmhouse expansion plans, the locations of the pole and the electrical feed at the corner of the house made it next to impossible to raise the line to a safe height. Rather than risk an unpleasant tangle with the backhoe, we opted to lower the line.

I’ve already mentioned that as we’re revamping our farmhouse, we’re doing our best to salvage and reuse materials, such as wall studs, baseboards and doors, from the original structure whenever possible.
